Horizontal film frames from a weekend in Mendocino 🎞️

“Passively participated” in the Lost Coast Open Spearfishing Tournament hosted by @odysseyfreediving. & by that I mean I stayed dry, drank a few beers, and ripped through a few rolls of film instead. Got to watch these cool kids from the shore.

Stoked to have these memories burned in my brain. Bring on more weekends like this.

Your love makes my cheeks hurt (🥹!!)

Reminiscing on this one of a kind proposal session with @sydgish + @jiggy_with_wiggy in Oahu, a place close to their hearts. The nerves were real, but these two made it carefree and the most fun! ✨🌴💍

Absolutely crying. I got to shoot my niece’s first official photoshoot and to say we had fun is an understatement! 🌸🌿🧚✨📸

It’s been a gift to watch my oldest sister become a mom. And with another on the way (🥹!!)

So much love for you both 🤍 by @elainapelfini
